we've totally failed in iraq. today as we speak, iranian aircraft are overflying iraq to syria and delivering weapons to bashar assad. we were supposed to leave a residual force there. we didn't because then-senator obama, who said that the surge would fail, where he was completely wrong, now has said -- is now celebrating that we're out of iraq. they sentenced their vice president to death. the tensions between sunni shia and kurd have never been greater and al qaeda is on the rise in iraq. in the words of general keen, the architect of the surge, we won the war and lost the peace. when is the last time the president of the united states stood up and spoke on behalf of these people? it's impossible for me to understand why the president of the united states wouldn't at least speak out against the murder, rape, torture that's going on and continues on and an unfair atpaoeud with bashar -- unfair fight with bashar assad, and of course every day that goes by more and more al qaeda infiltrate the country. in afghanis

iraq was going to be a free war also, that iraq oil was going to pay for it. never ends up happening. but that's what they told us about libya. with regard to pakistan, i have one additional requirement. they have to protect and prove to us they will protect our embassy and they have to release dr. afridi. and i think this is very little to ask. he's under death threats in prison. his family's under death threats in the countryside. they're living in hiding and living in fear because they helped us. the other reason why this administration should really take it personally is somebody leaked dr. afridi's name. his name should have never been known. i doubt it was someone with the c.i.a., but somebody who knew his name leaked this story. there were some stories about a month or two ago about how the president was doing a great job with terrorism. in those stories, it talked about a doctor with a vaccine program and his name was found out. somebody leaked those, somebody very close to the president leaked those, and i think that needs to be investigated, and it's

four years later, we are out of iraq and the auto industry was saved. so we were able to turn around a ship that was going over the cliff. has the ship come back to doc? no, but it is headed away from the cliff, toward the dock. the question is -- the question is, have we become angry and disappointed that we are not at the beach at in our swim trunks sunbathing -- that we left the folks that were driving us over the cliff, get back to steer the ship or do we keep the people that took us back off the brink and trust that they are headed in the right direction? where we need to go? so i think that a lot of the measure of things, in my opinion, a lot of things include being caught up on history in 2008. the first president of color. it was historic. but when i look at it today, when we talk about things like the portal health care act or we have children with asthma and pre-existing conditions, where we are looking at jobs and we cannot get past it in this congress, where we are looking at voter rights under question, in my judgment it was historic and pe
